Suzanne's Dream

My friend Suzanne emailed me about a dream she had:

Last night I had a dream that I was supposed to give a toast at your weddingand that I forgot until five minutes before I was supposed to go up, and Iwas writing it in my head when I realized that Mike was in Tajikistan, andthen he burst through double doors with a whole entourage of Tajik dancersand everybody clapped and then you were scrambling to get your hair into achignon, which you pronounced very Frenchily, because you said that you guyscouldn't do the Big Dance if you didn't have a chignon. And then I said, "Iknow exactly what to say for my toast!" and then I woke up.

Suzanne's going to be re-mounting her fantastic show Yoga Bitch at Seattle's Re-Bar on Fridays and Saturdays from September 19 through October 11. Did I mention that it's directed by moi (she said, very Frenchily).

And now, I'm off to the airport to meet my honey in Istanbul! More posts from the road!

Meet the Travelmonkeys

Well, it's me, JM, my partner-in-crime, M, and our small black pug, Baci. We work in theater; I'm the director, M's the creator and performer, Baci's the little bit of chaos that keeps life interesting. We spend about half the year at home in Brooklyn and the other half on the road. This blog is an attempt to document that half, so we can remember where we've been.
